Golden Ridge Resources Releases Results of Petrographic Analysis ON Williams Zone
GOLDEN RIDGE RESOURCES RELEASES RESULTS OF PETROGRAPHIC ANALYSIS ON WILLIAMS ZONE
Kelowna, British Columbia – April 5, 2018 - Golden Ridge Resources Ltd. (“Golden Ridge” or the
“Company”) (TSXV: GLDN) is pleased to announce the results of a petrographic study from the newly
discovered Williams Zone Cu-Au porphyry prospect at its Hank Property (the “Property”) in northwest
British Columbia. The Williams Zone was discovered by geologists in 2017 after following up on a Cu -Au
soil anomaly in a heavily forested area of the Property. The petrographic study was carried out by Craig
H.B. Leitch, Ph.D., P. Eng of Vancouver Petrographics Ltd. Dr. Lei tch reported that the samples display
evidence of a well-developed alkalic porphyry copper system with strong potassic alteration (K-Feldspar,
Biotite, Hematite-after-Magnetite) and copper mineralization (Chalcopyrite -Bornite-Covellite-Digenite).
Two rock types were defined by petrographic analysis; a potassic altered monzonite intrusive (Fig.1) and
an intrusive/hydrothermal breccia (Fig. 2). Based on a previous ground magnetic survey completed in
2017, t he circular breccia body is interpreted to be approximately 400 meter s in diameter and fie ld
relations suggest the monzonite cross-cuts the breccia pipe.
A drill pad was constructed in the center of the magnetic anomaly and a winterized drill rig was left on
the pad which will allow the Company to test to ta rget early in the 2018 season. A minimum of 1500
meters of drilling is planned for the Williams Zone, with additional drilling contingent on results. Please
see Golden Ridge’s news release dated November 22, 2017 for more information on the Williams Zone.
